| dc.description.abstract | The Rothchild’s giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis rothschildi) is one of nine recognized giraffe
subspecies. The International Union for Conservation of Nature recognizes the species
vulnerable and the subspecies near threatened, therefore great importance is placed upon their
conservation. As case studies show that limbs of ungulates require critical care, it is important
for veterinarians tasked with the treatment of these species, both wild and in captivity, to
understand the intricate anatomy of such species in order to best treat health concerns which
may arise, and therefore best support the overall conservation efforts. | en_US |
